3 Most Powerful Fun Hacks In Game Design 

Like and subscription for ZAtisfying accent! 👍

1:50 [insert Fallout 76 joke]

I really wish the player on the left would win at least one round :(

Very interesting video!

You're my favorite German RU-vidr.

"Pretty much every game is more fun if you play it with a friend" I found the extrovert

1) Multiplayer: 0:26 a) Not always the best choice 1:03 b) Hides bad design 1:27 2) Feedback 2:23 3) Randomness 3:45 a) Not always good. Not to produce gambling addicts or break the balance 4:35 4) Progression 5:57

Randomness in games is a very contensios issue - Richard Garfield has made whole lecures about it. Super quick synopsis: Multiple types of randomness: 1. Randomness effecting the starting posision 2. Randomness before you make a decision eg pick up a card at the start of your turn 3. Randomness after making a decision EG you decide to attack - now roll to see if you manage to hit. Generally 3 is not a great idea. This is board/card game related, but relates to computer games as well.

Number 1 is deceptive. It's not multiplayer that makes it fun, it's the implicit challenge of doing it quick enough. If you add this rule in singleplayer (playing against a bot, or a timer), it would also be more fun. And if you play with a friend, but somehow manage to stop yourself from making it a challenge, i.e, you just click 100 times, no race, no losers, no podium, like in singleplayer, then it will still be crappy.

Damn, the player on the right was so much better at clicking the button

So after Will You Snail you'll work on the press the button 100 times trilogy?

No! I don’t want to make my game “vorse”! (Btw, I’m not making fun of your accent- I actually really love it! ❤️)

That effect where smaller squares pop off and move into a circle at the end is super cool. How'd you do it?

When your game is bad, use unitys particle system.

If you want to add juice/feedback to your game I suggest you watch "The Art of Screenshake" by Vlambeer (ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-AJdEqssNZ-U.html) and/or "Juice it or Lose it" by Martin Jonasson & Petri Purho (ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Fy0aCDmgnxg.html)

A good way to implement number 4 might be to extend the cap to 500 and change the color of the square every 100, so you have a milestone of progress.

A way to make this into a rage game: You and your friend are both clicking the button, and player one's goal is to make the thing go to 100, and player two's goal is to make it go to -100. Edit: If it's not clear, you are clicking the same button, fighting to change the number to the ideal goal.

Very informative, Thank you so much... Just for more "HACKS" you can check this awesome talk by Hirokazu Yasuhara on how to make a game "fun"

ziss is zatisying Jonas :-) Love your videos

if you accually add some progression, more points per tap upgrades and other clicker game things as well as some ranking system, I think the game will be cool!

Why did the right player win every time?

0:20 ALOT VERSE! Nice video :)

What wrong with my game being a lot verse?

No one: Jonas: z e t e s f i n g

Well I guess u should use engaging not addicting by the way good video it helped me a lot And if u are still reading this U have been rick rolled

great video ! , by the way which game was it -> the one with two players (platformer) ?

dude, you're smashing these vids . awesome

1: EA thought this was the only way, God Of War proven them wrong as everything does. 2: Visual feedback, crisp responsive controls and sound design. All of this makes a game feel amazing. 3: Random crits are fair and balanced. Though in the Doom videos explaining mechanics and code he mentions how much randomness there is in the game. So yes it's the best in my opinion to add variety and see how things go.

these are actually to the point. Thanks subbed :)

I don't even make games for a reason, I just make stuff to screw around with my friends.

1 infinite health hack 2 x-ray hack 3 fly hack

I believe you forgot “adding bloom”

I think the 5 point random chance would be more likely if you're behind and much less if you're ahead to make it more fair

Yep i am looking for a single player game do you now why i have no friends to play :(

6. Slap Chris Rock!

4. Ray Tracing. Just add it :-)

I want to know how you did the particle effect. Can you publish the code for the example?

How to dopamine release

ad. Randomness: The feels it induces are themself quite random, and can lead to undesired effects because humans cannot grasp probability very well. Take the original Tetris into account, the tetrominos were truly random and it can feel very frustrating if a matching part does not come up for quite some time. The newer versions ensure the pieces are equally distributed by shuffling the sequence of the tetrominos. So it's still random, but you're guaranteed to have one of each in a randomized manner, once all came up the sequence starts anew. In this clicker game you could balance it out by choosing a random number of buffs applied at random times. So the number of clicks is still equal for both players yet they get the good feeling of a buff.

4. Explosions

What if I fake the multiplayer factor? What if I'm able to make it look like the player it's playing against another human? Do you think it would be obvious that he's not playing against another human?

1:02 take notes EA

'Randomness can be very frustrating'.... Tf2: well f*** this we will have random one shot crits

neat suggestions again! I think i love these short videos more. I use them as snack for my breaks.

zzzit is very hawrd to zzzet up multiplayer games, but when you know how, it'z very fun! zo is zzzatisfying feedback, zzzory i'm just trying to make fun of your acczent zzzit's much better at zze time i made zzzis comment itz a lot better now

Making a counting button fun doesn't prove anything. You made a heccing button fun you can make anything fun.

3:53 randomness can be good but take tf2 as an example. everybody hates random crits

I would also add Self-Expression. I hear people pass on games because you can not play a character of your own design.

You've made fantastic progress in your English since then, dude )

Me! I want more local multiplayer! Having everyone bring their PC to a sleepover is a pain in the ass!

ZATISFACTION

I can acctually see how you turned this boring practically cps game into a game that when i look at i want to play and for that you deserve the sub

Nice! Very helpful and insightful for indie devs.

Wait.. Why am I not subscribed yet? Okay, now I am👍

Excellent video, Jonas!

I found it really hard to considder randomness a funfactor especially in a multiplayer game

When is Jonas’s clicker game coming out on the Ps5?

I like your videos, man. Not referring to just this one.

Good tips and examples. Thankz a lot!

Not sure if I can add Mechanics as #5, but something as simple as making combos where if you click 3 times at the same interval you get a bonus point or something is skill based, fair, and adds a lot of depth

2:00

yea like i vanna play vith americans not lithuanians even though i'm lithuanian

I would so play this game for a few minutes with a friend

Is that a sound dampening blanket behind you by chance?

what's with Jonas and clicker games?

“Multiplayer” Me, a solo player: **Judges** (Jk)

love your channel brother congrats on islanders! channels up there with the best of them and would love to work with you one day!

Calling multiplayer a hack is pretty ballsy 😅

Now the try to make I local and network multipler game

Great video. I learned a lot from it. Thank you.

4. A sense of pride and accomplishment

I love your channel man. I am in a videogame school where i learn basis of making games (the basis of game design) and train a lot my art to be a game artist. I love game design and your videos teach me more everyday !

Tip 4 Give the players a chance to win a seizre. 😂

Download for the clicker game?

Where I can download this game 😂😂😂

instructions unclear i made will you snail 2

Hey Jonas, could you do a tutorial on randomising of colors? I'd love to see that!

How about stop making 2D games?

yay i want to make a zuper addicting game!

101 Clicks DLC, when?

I disliked this only so that it could have 69 dislikes

Really good tips! :)

what is the font you are using (i mean the one in the middle that counts from 1 to 100

but isnt hacking bad lollll

Do you know why there's not much interest in local multiplayer games on PC? Because nobody makes any so people who have gamer friends come over play on consoles, or take turns on PC. There's a masive market for local PC multiplayer. Also, is epilepsy indusing flashing part of the satisfying feedback?

Are u swedish u seem like pewds

where is the funny intro? :C

Wow der deutsche Akzent :D Ist seitdem echt besser geworden :)

Your accent makes everything you say sound manly and intimidating. "I shall create zë indie game in zë name of zë zird rëich!"

0:51 but i have no fren

a lot of zatisfaction

Multiplayer, feedback, and randomness, huh? So THAT'S why Mario Kart is so exciting!

a lot verse

Man usually we find cool tips round here but what this dude shares is GOLD

me: Jonas Tyroller how many people do you meet in a day? Jonas: The Zzame amount of people everyday.😂😅

A lot VERSEEEE

With great randomness comes great responsibility.

Oh i saw you on tiktok so you're also game maker nice.. Im kinda too. I told you on tiktok, you're a star
